The phrase "a specific decline in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a particular decrease or reduction in a measurable quantity or quality.
Example: "The report highlighted a specific decline in sales over the last quarter."
Alternatives: "a notable decrease in" or "a distinct drop in".
Characterization of FDP inactivation mutants of Synechocystis revealed a specific decline in PSII centers and impaired translation of the D1 protein in Δflv2 and Δflv4 when grown at air level CO2 whereas at high CO2 the Flvs were dispensable.
Thus, nutrient limitation led to a specific decline in hemolymphatic protein and lipid concentrations.
However, in addition to the treatment-induced reduction in disease activity, a specific decline in RF activity was observed.
Several observational studies demonstrated a tissue-specific decline in CoQ levels with age (Kalen et al., 1989; Miles et al., 2004).
Thus, we next examined whether the diminished size of aged myofibres, and their lack of regeneration, could be caused by an age-specific physical loss of muscle stem cells and/or by an age-specific decline in satellite cell activation.
Future work is needed to determine whether these embryonic-like pluripotent cells physiologically differentiate into various tissues in adults and whether there is an age-specific decline in this mode of postnatal organogenesis.
Furthermore, evidence of a simultaneous inter-specific decline in epiphyll local abundance and regional distribution in small (1- and 10-ha) forest fragments corroborate with metapopulation-based predictions highlighting the importance of immigration in buffering from patch extinction risk (i.e., the rescue effect).
Stem cells, which undergo rapid activation and proliferation within hours after injury, exhibit a remarkable age-specific decline in performance, as observed by diminished proliferation capacity when isolated from different organs of aged animals (Teta et al., 2005, Geiger et al., 2014, Kuang et al., 2015).
Driver support systems have the potential to address either directly or indirectly the specific declines in perceptual, cognitive and physical performance by enabling a reduction in driver workload [41].
(H.P. has not projected specific declines in revenue or operating margins for the company over all).
But it mainly speaks to specific declines in particular gaming categories.
